I use them in salads. Never had them for breakfast, though.
I can't think how they might be used.

"French Breakfast" is the name of the variety but I don't
think it's meant to be taken literally...like "Beefsteak"
tomato. Radishes are served mainly as hors d'oeuvres or in
salads. In my experience, true breakfast in France is
limited to pastry or croissant with very strong coffee.

In France radishes are never eaten for breakfast. They're
lunch, or picnic, food, served as a first course.

You put a few on your plate, sprinkle some sea salt and a
knob of butter on the side of the plate. Dip one radish in
salt, butter a small piece of fresh baguette, bite the
radish and eat radish and buttered bread at the same time.

What are your "french breakfast radishes" supposed to
look like?

I don't think there's anything special - a nice chunk of
dark bread with a thick layer of butter, radishes and
salt, coffee.

I grew them a few years ago from seeds ordered from Burpee.
They are slightly hotter than normal round red radishes in
the US. They are red on the top and white on the bottom.
They are elongated.

In New York's greenmarkets they are small white and red
ones. They come from several farms with the same appearance.

I never heard any suggestion that they would beaten for
breakfast. Just one variety among many available in season
here. They were the first to appear this spring.

That was a favorite of my mom's and I love radishes that
way, too. She preferred the white icicle varieties for them
and loved them on pumpernickel.

Oh, and a favorite of mine, too, when I was growing up. A
friend's mother was from Germany and she put together some
amazingly good and simple things like this. Her preference
(and I love it) was black radishes. I can't find them where
I now live.

I have only ever seen red radishes, we used to grow them in
our garden.

I used to get them at the West Side Market in Cleveland, OH.
Black radishes are roundish and usually larger than a golf
ball, and sometimes as large as a baseball. They're spicy
but not too hot. Actually, the black skin is peeled off,
then the radish is sliced.
